  • Main session to share key insights, highlights, and potential partnership ideas

The session aims to facilitate connections and foster collaboration between EU networks and Georgian mobile youth workers.

Mobile youth workers from Georgia can bring a diverse range of skills, experiences, and learnings to the table.

By sharing these skills, experiences, and learnings, mobile youth workers can foster meaningful discussions and collaborations with their EU counterparts, ultimately contributing to a more robust and impactful youth development ecosystem.

Skills to share

  • Mobile youth workers have hands-on experience in reaching out to and engaging with marginalized and disadvantaged youth, including NEETs. They can share effective strategies for building rapport, gaining trust, and encouraging participation.

  • As far as the Mobile Youth Workers from Georgia have worked in diverse communities, including ethnic monitory regions, they have gained cultural sensitivity and adaptability. Mobile youth workers can provide insights into navigating cultural differences and tailoring programs to suit the needs of various target groups.

  • Sharing methods to empower youth, boost their confidence, and inspire them to take ownership of their personal and professional growth. This could include mentoring, coaching, and fostering a sense of agency.

  • Mobile youth workers collaborate with a range of stakeholders, including local authorities, NGOs, and community members. They can discuss the art of building partnerships, leveraging resources, and creating a supportive ecosystem for youth development.

  • Mobile youth workers often operated in remote regions, which requires unique approaches to engagement. They can share insights about working in remote and rural areas, and overcoming challenges related to accessibility.

About the project

Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) together with the partners – Save the Children Georgia, Youth Agency of Georgia, and Youth Workers’ Association of Georgia – is implementing a project “Skills for Success” funded by the EU “Skills4Jobs” Program.

The goal of the project is to contribute to fostering the employability of disadvantaged youth Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETs) by supporting state efforts on youth employability in Tbilisi, Kakheti, Shida Kartli, Guria, and Racha-Lechkhumi regions of Georgia.

To reach its objective the project aims to strengthen competencies and pre-requisites for non-formal education and skills, increase employability capacity among youth, and promote entrepreneurship.

The specific objective is to support entrepreneurial and market-driven skills development and retention of NEETs, particularly disadvantaged youth and women, through non-formal education, career guidance, and active international partnership.

In order to reach out to the project target groups, the project selected and trained 20 Mobile Youth Workers who have been working in the frame of the project. The Mobile Youth Workers have been working in 6 municipalities in Georgia with the NEETs, provided information and motivated them to participate in the Innovation Labs organized in the frame of the Project, where they increased their skills and start working on the entrepreneurial ideas.
